{80%+20%+x:(0.0000...1 ≤ x ≤ 0.9999...9)} > 100%
Sounds totally right, makes mathematical sense if and only if the acquisition percentage of the aura is 0%

I think I saw someone un-box an aura earlier today. However, I have been known to be wrong on occasion.

Le gasp. These boxes must really be worth getting if there's 100-101% inside of them.

Beep.
The likelihood is that the way it's described is different to how it's calculated. So the 3 probably aren't unison, but two separate calculations.
As in..
x = Math.random(100);
y = 0;
if (x < 1) {
//aura
}
else {
y = Math.random(100);
if (y < 80) {
//80% stoof
}
else {
//20% stoof
}
}
So, they worded it "technically" correctly, but not really how they meant it to sound like. That's my guess, anyway.
And yes, it's a rubbish way to execute a chance-based system, but that's the only way I see it working with the figures given.
EDIT: Okay, so all the indents are gone. Damn forums.
